It looks like some screen readers announce the value of a slider by calculating the percentage themselves using the `aria-valuemin`, `aria-valuemax` and `aria-valuenow`. The problem is that they don't round down the decimals so for a slider between 0 and 1 with a step of 0.1, they end up reading out values like 0.20000068. These changes work around the issue by setting `aria-valuetext` to the same value that we shown in the thumb which we truncate ourselves. Fixes angular#20719.

@crisbeto I had to revert this change because it overrides custom aria-values |
|
No problem, I hadn't accounted for that. I'll resubmit it. |
